Northwest , Too.
He will bo a lucky man who secures
the Wayne I ) . Carlock farm , near
( Jiegory , 8. I ) . , which Is Just now of
fered for sale by the ownt r. A News
man had ( ho pleasure of visiting this
farm last summer and the following
paragraphs appeared In The News
of July 18 regarding the place :
"Imagine driving along a country
road and coming to a farm house
standing some distance back from the
main road , built upon an elevation
connected with the front gale by a
gentle slope of green grass dotted
hero anil there with a flower bed and
parked with little trees Just getting a
start In life ; the house Is modern In
appearance , Is painted a clean cream
and Is fronted by a comfortable wide
porch. From Inside the house comes
sounds of a high grade phonograph re
producing Molba's solos. A short dis
tance behind the bonso a mammoth
rod barn lifts Its proud head. At one
side of the farm yard are a series of
scientific pig pens such as you might
EDO In an agricultural college. Inside
the pens are registered porkers and
their little ones ; off In the distance
grazing peacefully on the sldo hill , are
a bunch of registered cattle ; around
the barn run pure white chickens that
show their blood breeding. And sur
rounding the farm house and barn are
*
great stretches of deep green corn
and ripening wheat and oats.
"Such a picture as this Is presented
by the farm of Wayne D. Carlock , Just
a ten minutes' drive from the town of
Gregory , and Mr. Carlock says that
bis farm Is only one of the type that
may bo found anywhere In the county.
"Tho oats will go sixty bushels to
the aero , the wheat twenty , and the
corn , though late In spots , has every
prospect of making a bumper yield. "
ADMITS FALSITY OF INTERVIEW.
New York Paper Now Says Synopsis
Was a "Stupid Error. "
Now York , Doc. 2. The World ,
which published on Nov. 21 what was
purported to be an "absolutely ac
curate and authoritative synopsis" of
the suppressed Halo Interview with
the kalsor , containing a remark as >
crlbed to the kaiser that "Edward has
been hounding me for two years and
ho has got to stop It , " now announces
that It has sent this cable message :
"Prince von Duelow , Imperial Chan
cellor , Berlin : After a painstaking
Investigation the Now York World
tlnds no convincing basis of fact for
its published synopsis of the Halo In
tervlow with bis majesty , the German
cmpeior. It accepts your verdict that
the alleged Interview ascribed to the
emperor 'Is 'stupidly absurd words
which ho cannot have uttered. '
"As n matter of simple justice to
the German emperor and the Gorman
people the World will print an crtl
torial leader on Monday morning ex
pressing Us sincere regret at the pub
lication of the synopsis which It re
gards as misleading and mischievous.
"It was an honest mistake , com
mitted merely through ovcrzeal , with
out the knowledge of the proprietor
or chief editor , and so late at night
that the article did not appear In the
first edition.
"Proofs of the synopsis sent to the
author of the interview had been cor
rected In his own handwriting and
this naturally was accepted as evi
dence that the article as printed was
personally approved by him. "
After reading the World's explana
tion last night Dr. Hale made public a
statement In which he said that prior
to its publication he had warned a
representative of the World that the
pretended synopsis was a "fako from
beginning to end. "

Some forty minutes before the build
Ing would have been crowded with
school children this morning , flro
broke out In the big high schol build
Ing. The flro , though It filled a good
portion of the big building with
smoke , did little damage. The flro
was counted as a rather fortunate oc
curance by the school board for It re
vealed a bit of faulty flro construction
that might have led to a dangerous
bla/o.
Vic Howarth , the Janitor , was th
hoio of the flro , first discovering th
blaze , turning In nn alarm to the do
partmert and then putting out th
flro with a garden hoso. Mlaa Paine
ho high school principal , and a mini-
ier of teachers were In the building ,
although the pupils had not begun to
arrive. The building was cleared of
ho smoke and school held as usual.

ihovo the horizontal smoke line over
ho furnace being unprotected. When
an unusually brisk IIro was started
his morning on account of the cold
veathor the Hue burned out. The
ntenso beat set Hro to the lath and
ilastor only about live Inches above
ho flue. About three minutes later
ho lire was dlscoveied by the janitor

NOT A MURDERER.
Traveling Man In Night Attire Creates
Stir in Hotel Dining Room.
A dazed lodger , under the Impres
sion that his bed mate was trying to
kill him , created a commotion at one
of the leading Norfolk hotels before
daybreak one morning last week by
rushing through the hallway and down
stairs into the dining room In his
dlrectolre night gown , crying out In
Ills flight that ho was being pursued
liy a murderer. The dining room at
the tlmo had several guests eating
early breakfast by lamplight before
leaving on the morning trains. The
man's screams and agitation created
consternation among the breakfastcrs
and hotel employes.
It all happened this way : Two
traveling salesmen for the same
house wore compelled to "double up. "
that is , occupy the same bed , be
cause of the scarcity of single beds.
Towards morning one of the sloeperb
grasped the other's throat during a
somnambulistic spell. The latter , in
his half-awakened condition , supposed
that his friend was trying to strangle
him. Ho released the man's hold , got
out of the room and hurried down
stairs , his friend following and calling
to him to come back. When the
frightened man reached the dining
room bis friend also In night attire ,
got to the head of the stairway. It took
considerable explanation and reas
surances from the supposed throttler
to get his victim to return to their
room. After the first alarm the guests
enjoyed the episode , but the two par
ties concerned could find no amuse
ment In it.

Predicts New Road.
Burton Independent : Now as rail-
load news are once more In the air ,
and other papers , as you see , boasting
of the now roads to bo built next year
In their section of the country , the
Independent can give you a bit of In
formation that will he of Interest to
the residents of this and adjoining
counties.
We have it by good authority , that
by March 1 , 1909 , the Burlington Ry.
Co. will begin the construction of a
road from Erlckson , Neb. , to be built
through Kcya Palm and Trlpp coun
ties to the northwest. The proposed
new road will cross the NorthWestern -
Western either at Stuart or Atkinson
axil go northwest to the NIobrara
river , ciosslng at a point near Ilaugh-
en's bridge. It will take a northwest
erly course and pass through Burton ,
the coming metropolis of Keya Palm
county , and through the rich German
settlement that lies to the northwest'
of Burton. It will cross the Keya
Palm river , passing through the propos
ed new townslto north of Konaston's ,
then on through Trlpp and Moyos
counties. Just where this now road
will terminate , we arc unable to state
at this time , but presume It will con
nect with the Northern Pacific , far to
the north , In order to get a more
direct route from Omaha to the west.
The editor of the Independent has
been In possession of those facts
since last August , having been in
formed of the proposition by one of
the promoters of the new road , but
was not aware that the road would be
under construction by March 1 , un
til just recently.
Airships.
Walt Mason In Emporla Gazette :
I hold It true , with him who sings ,
to one clear harp In divers tones ,
that men who'd fly , ere they have
wings , are apt to break their bloomIng -
Ing bones. The birds may think It
fully worth their while to soar from
tree to tree ; but while I live this good
old earth Is plenty smooth enough for
me. But when I leave this vale of
tears , with oil its mean and sordid
things , I may go sailing round the
spheer , upon a pair of SearshuCk
wings.

Many Norfolk people have boon mi-
ublo to understand why Judge M. B.
Reese of .Llr oln and not .Indgo
Barnes of Norfolk Is to bo chief juw-
( Ice of the stipromo court , Judge-
Harnos having boon at the head of the
court during the past year. The au-
prome court , was changed by u con
stitutional amendment last month. It
now has seven instead of three
judges. In inO ! three Judges will be
elected for a term of six years. In
1911 throe judges will bo elected for
a term of six years. Then In HMS
a chief justice will bo elected to serve
for six years , thus making the ofllca
of chief justice an elective one. The *
amendment also provides that the supreme
premo judge whoso term expired
when the first elected chief Justlco
takes office in January 1011 shall bo
chief justice until that time , thus
giving the chief justiceship to .Indgo
Recso , who was elected in 1907. While
In point of continuous service Judge
Harnos has served longer than any
of the other Judges , Judge Reese baa
been on the supreme bench before and
therefore has already seven years of
service to his credit.
